Just wondered how everyone else stores theirs. I have no airing cupboard.
I am thinking about buying a Seagrass or wooden storage chest, also notice there is a water hyacinth storage chest in my catalogue.
Hoping to buy it today so please answer soon. TIA.

P.s. If anyone has the above storage chests how do you get on with them? wasn't sure how long seagrass would last.

I use them bags that you suck the air out of with a Hoover. Then they go flat under beds.

Water hyacinth chest, works well for me. Get a good one though, with decent hinges and a nice solid frame. You'll be in and out of it a lot and you don't want some creaky wonky thing with rough bits. Mine was from John Lewis, well worth what I thought at the time was more than I wanted to pay.

I am hoping to go to Argos as we don't live near many other furniture shops.

SomethingBlue I like the look of the Water hyacinth one. It looks a bit more sturdy than the sea grass one. I think you sometimes have to pay a bit more for something you want to keep for a long time.

I have a large pine chest at the foot of my bed. I treasure it as it was made for me by my late father. I store beach towels in the suitcases as we mainly only use them when we go on holiday. I store the dc duvet sets in a drawer in their bedrooms.

I have a magic bed that flips up and has super duper secret storage underneath!

It needs a bit of a sort out really.

A chest wouldn't be nearly big enough. I have a giant cupboard (above DS1's bed, as it happens).

CointreauVersial I think I also may need to have a bit of a clear out.
